Now I'm using eDonkey and I won't certainly renew my subscription if a solution to this particular problem is not found

You don't mention which version of LW you were using previously. But you can easily revert to 4.18.8 Pro by clicking on the 'Get LW PRO Classic' link on the left side of your personal download page

Saving your Pro installers would be the way to go - then you can reinstall older versions whenever you're not happy with an update.

I did what you advised me to do: revert to 4.18.8. That was good advice.Thanks. Now my LW downloads normally.
I don't know what's wrong with 5.1.2 and what may cause this downloading problem when you see the download status bar stuck for ever at say 6 or 8% although the downloading is apparently going on. Note -if you can retrieve my older previous messages- that's exactly about the same problem I wrote some 6 months ago and also I'm not the only one who complained about that in the forum.
